Study: Temperature influences bird diversity loss in Mexico

Interesting in that land use has had little effect on bird diversity. Seems counter-intuitive. But, the hotter it gets, the less diversity, even in tropical climes.

“A wide-ranging study of gains and losses of populations of bird species across Mexico in the 20th century shows shifts in temperature due to global climate change are the primary environmental influence on the distributions of bird species.”

Sunday was the day to take “Mel”, the cat, for his rabies vaccine, even though he is an indoor cat all the time.
Wrangled the 20# into the carrier. We step outside to 100 effen degrees!
I was certain he began plotting and then would carry out my demise.
Mellow was a very good cat. He just wants treats all the time because “I owe him”!

Wow, just like Donald I’m sure, sometimes I scare myself with my brilliance!!😆

This HAS to be one of the funniest stories of the day.
Seems as though the Catholic governor of Texas wanted to shine a little light on Mary, you know the virgin who gave birth to a certain boygod.

Sometimes a fertilized egg doesn’t implant on the uterine wall. Is that murder? That’s why it’s stupid to say human life begins at fertilization because quite often, through no fault of the woman’s, the fertilized egg fails to become human life.

State investigations into Planned Parenthood clinics which don’t perform abortions find no evidence of those clinics selling aborted babies for profit. Clearly this lack of evidence proves that they’re hiding something. We need a full Congressional inquiry to find out what that is.
